Sliding door middle 'runner' painting

[MidLifeCrisis]

I'm cleaning up the sliding door mechanisn - in particular the 'middle' hinge and runner.
Am I ok to just paint the runner with 'ordinary' rattle can paint - or is there something more durable that I should be using as the 'hinge' roller will be running across it??

Just paint I think - its gonna be greased anyway.

Obviously the paint would need a few days of desent warm weather or a week of cool weather to harden fully.

Yep - good point - guess I won't be driving around much for a while!
I currently have the door off its runner and held shut on the closing/locking mechanism (if that makes sense) - but it seems foolish to drive anywhere like this as I assume a) it's not designed for that; b) if the latch did let go the door would just fall straight off (which doesn't bear thinking about!)
